5.Molecular Basis of Inheritance
normal
A $DNA$ strand with the sequence $AACGTAACG$ is transcribed. What is the sequence of the $mRNA$ molecule synthesized?
A
$AACGTAACG$
B
$UUGCAUUGC$
C
$AACGUAACG$
D
$TTGCATTGC$
Solution
When a $DNA$ strand with the sequence $AACGTAACG$ is transcribed, the resultant sequence of the $mRNA $ molecule synthesized is $UUGCAUUGC$. This is based on the paring of nitrogenous bases adenine pairs with thymine $(in\; DNA)$ and uracil $(in \;RNA)$ and guanine with cytosine.
